why don't you start with your take on obama's inaugural address last week and what you described in your "usa today" column as a difference between civil rights and civil liberties under this administration? guest: the inauguration speech was picking up a very common and almost mantra in the obama administration of achieving equality, which is a noble and important goal. i think the most significant thing about the inauguration speech, which are particularly thought was wonderful, was his reference to gay-rights and to the gay movement. it established his commitment to equality. i want to note that he has not been particularly aggressive in supporting gay rights in his first administration. his administration in court argued the same arguments as the bush administration. he still refuses to make clear his position on key legal aspects of gay-rights. and so, the first term obama was not nearly as passionate as that speech would suggest. but what was missing once again was a discussion of civil liberties. i think it does reflect this grewat this-- -- great schism in the democratic and libe

last week senate minority leader mitch mcconnell's campaign sent out an email entitled, watch out they are coming for your guns. among the email's claims is the plateant distortion, quote, president obama is spelling out the 23 executive orders he will take to get your guns. those 23 executive actions are so modest that even gun rights activists said they had no problem with them. in fact, many of them reflect proposals made by the n.r.a. even if we give senator mcconnell the benefit of the doubt as to whether he actually knew what his campaign manager was putting out, he he is as responsible as we all are for what our employees do in our name. i call on senator mcconnell to apologize to his supporters, some of whom are my constituents, for stoking totally irrational and unjustifiable fear. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> pursuant to house resolution 39, i call up house resolution -- h.r. 325 to ensure the complete and timely payment of obligations of the united states government. the speaker pro tempore: does t
